University of Minnesota scientists are partnering with a global team to study the complex effects of climate change on winter crops. 

While smoking rates have declined dramatically in the United States, there are still 35 million smokers. 

The ongoing success of the multi-instrument optics alignment for NASA’s Webb telescope’s near-infrared instruments has moved the attention of the commissioning team to chill as we carefully monitor the cooling of the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) down to its final operating temperature of less than 7 kelvins (-447 degrees Fahrenheit, or -266 degrees Celsius). 

Computers may be growing smaller and more powerful, but they require a great deal of energy to operate.

Most simulations of our climate’s future may be overly sensitive to Arctic ice melt as a cause of abrupt changes in ocean circulation, according to new research led by scientists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

Growing crops in a changing climate is tough enough, but when weeds factor in, soybean yields take a massive hit.

Scientists have published a series of recommendations to enable communities and managers to minimise the impact of lionfish in the Mediterranean Sea.

When it comes to solving Earth’s climate crisis, the agricultural and forestry sectors are some of the hardest areas to change, yet a new report suggests that these areas will play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Partnerships between water utilities, irrigation districts and other stakeholders in California will play a critical role in funding new infrastructure under the Water Resilience Portfolio Initiative announced in 2020 by Gov. Gavin Newsom, but a new study warns that benefits might not be evenly distributed without a proper structure to the partnership agreements.

New research using computer vision to analyse tens of thousands of butterfly specimens in the Natural History Museum's collection has found that some British butterflies are getting bigger in response to climate change.
